Balance of church and presbytery in ordination and baptism
The text argues that ordination and baptism must follow a divine commission, proper mode, and a lawful administrator backed by church and presbytery. It rejects immersion by unaffirmed ministers, insists on proper faith and doctrine for validity, and holds the church’s fellowship and authority as essential to administer the ordinances.

The text condemns subjects making or altering laws and calls for unity, peace, and continued church fellowship. The remarks urge reverence for divine timing and blessing on churches as they grow.
